The first route on the wall was conquered on the july 26th,1964 by an Austrian name Harry Roset and Fazlullah Amir A’laie from Iran. They almost succeeded to the end of wall but could not reach the summit. After that in july 1966 four wall-mountaineers from France could manage to open a route up to the summit by utilizing part of the Harry Roset ascended route in the course of a 25-day large-scale project.
In 1969 three Polish wall-mountaineers spent three nights on the wall and unsealed a tough and hard route name “Poland 48th” to the summit.The Polish also managed to open two other routes on this wall.
The first Iranian opening was carried out by Arash Club Team in Tehran in 1983.
In 2009the author of this article along with several wall-mountaineers begin to open a straight route name karajian that was between “Poland 48th” and the central route without leaving instruments behind (clean clim) b).
After several years of attempts in 2009, this team succeeded in completing this route which at the end is in common with “Poland 48th”route.This route can be called one of the most difficult and of course cleanest in terms of leaving behind equipment and wall erosion.
But one of the major climbs in the history of this wall is winter of 2013.The winter ascend of “Poland 48th” route that has been successfully accomplished was the result of coherent efforts of a team led by the author of this article.
